Reading... ?

Question

Do the younger (the children) read in our times?
I love reading but my classmates HATE reading (ang one of my BEST friends)...

Answer 1

My daughter reads. She's 7.

Answer 2

I cannot speak for all children but except for my oldest son ( he has severe dyslexia) my other three children all love to read and some of their friends like to read also and they lend out their favorite books to each other and like talking about what they like so much about the book.
I have heard more people wondering if children still like to read and I sometimes wonder if the fact that my children like it so much had something to do with me reading to them a lot when they were little. I still love reading to my youngest ones even though they are already able to read. I always loved and still love reading to children and use different and funny voices to make it more fun and exciting. Maybe this has inspired them to read or maybe they just enjoy it because there are so many beautiful books that stimulate their fantasy and sense of adventure.

Answer 3

I don`t think so. There are just too many other stuff the younger generations do these days. There are video games, chatrooms, emails and all these entertainment, that I guess, reading a good book (if that is what you mean by reading) becomes quite a hassle these days.

The best thing to start one`s child into the habit, is to read one himself. Read a good night story to a child every night and he will be interested in it!

I love reading!

Answer 4

I feel the same way. I enjoy reading, but whenever other students see me with a book they ask what class it is for. the idea of reading for leisure is foreign to them.
I think that a good amount of people do read, they just aren't as vocal about it.
But I definitely think that reading begins at home. Parents who read to small children and encourage reading from an early age are the biggest influence. My mom read to me and my sister every night. Even once we could read, she would still read a chapter from a classic like Little Women to us. The library was an important event in our childhood and one of the few places my mom was always willing to take us.

Answer 5

I'm 15 and I still love to read. Our school recently held its annual book fair. We were given coupons for every book we bought. In my section (there are at least 30 students there) 60 coupons were submitted. And to think that that was only for one section! My batch has 3 sections each with 30 students. I'm not too sure about the other two sections but I know that some of them also bought books. That's why for this week almost everybody was holding a book in her hands. Not everybody bought books, it's just that students bought more than two books. :P

Answer 6

It's all about getting hooked by the right book. Harry Potter converted a lot of non-readers into readers. If you read around your children (or if your parents read alot) you will tend to be a reader--though not all children in the family will read equally much

Answer 7

You need to introduce your characters to the right books. Books like Harry Potter, King Fortis the Brave and Eragon will help them learn to love reading

My duaghter in nine and is a reading machine! She has read all of the "Fudge" series this summer by Judy Blume and also most of the Junie B. Jones's books by Barbara Park .
